Majesco entertainment announced today that they have secured the rights to publish Rage's new upcoming tactical shooter Mobile Forces. While we've known about this game for a while, this is the first official announcement from Majesco.

For those that don't already know, this game is the first FPS coming out of the Rage offices. But they're starting with a bang by taking advantage of Epic's "latest Unreal technology" to create the team-based shooter.

Ken Gold, Vice President of Marketing for Majesco.

"Mobile Forces' unique style of vehicle and ground-based combat will have adrenaline pumping through the veins of even the most action-hungry PC gamers. Its sophisticated physics model heightens player immersion and delivers mind-blowing vehicle control with some of the most in-depth team-based combat available on PC."

How advanced is that physics model? Here's a clue from the release,

"Vehicle models have been designed to accurately simulate the individual movements of each military craft, featuring suspension, 5-speed gearbox and clutch, ABS brakes, handbrake turns, reverse turns and power slides."

Sounds like some people just feel like being all nitpicky and over-achieving...

You'll also be able to drive and jump in as a gunner for a vehicle as well. When you're outside the vehicles, you'll have nine real world weapons to use including rocket launchers, laser trip bombs, and grenades. All of this will take place across 11 distinct locations in 8 single and multiplayer modes either on foot or in vehicles.

Deathmatch & Team Deathmatch - with frag or time limits or survivor modes

Detonation - each team member has an explosive device around his/her neck. The

opposing team's goal is to find the enemy's signal codes, plug them into the detonation device and blow-up the opponent

Trailer capture - tow a trailer of explosives to an enemy's base and destroy it

Holdout - a team takes control of a certain area

Captains - eliminate the other team's captain while protecting your own

CTF - capture the flag

Safecracker - infiltrate the enemy base, blow open their safe and steal the gold bars
